On Tuesday I had the 'Glucose tollerance test'. They give you a very sweet drink then do a blood test to see how your body is processing sugars.

Unfortunately mine has come back high, which could indicate gestational diabetes so I have to go take the test again but it's a bit more involved second time around.

I know that this sometimes happens to women during pregnancy and it's often/usually nothing that the woman has done wrong. Generally it's just the hormones being out of whack, but it still upsets me to think that my baby could be at risk.

I hope the second test provides a better result. I will never forgive myself if something happens to our baby.
